Published: June 2021

Kurtosis is known to be effective at estimating signal timing and carrier phase offset when the processing is performed in a "burst mode," that is, operating on a block of received signal in an offline fashion. In this paper, kurtosis-based estimation is extended to provide tracking of timing and carrier phase, and frequency offsets. The algorithm is compared with conventional PLL-type timing/phase estimation and shown to be superior in terms of speed of convergence, with comparable variance in the matched filter output symbols.

Timely and accurate detection of trace mycotoxins in agricultural products and food is significant for ensuring food safety and public health. Herein, a deep learning-assisted and entropy-driven catalysis (EDC)-Argonaute powered fluorescence single-particle aptasensing platform was developed for ultrasensitive detection of fumonisin B (FB) using single-stranded DNA modified with biotin and red fluorescence-encoded microspheres as a signal probe and streptavidin-conjugated magnetic beads as separation carriers. The binding of aptamer with FB releases the trigger sequence to mediate EDC cycle to produce numerous 5'-phosphorylated output sequences, which can be used as the guide DNA to activate downstream Argonaute (Ago) for cleaving the signal probe, resulting in increased number of fluorescence microspheres remaining in the final reaction supernatant after magnetic separation.

Pathogenic intracellular bacteria pose a significant threat to global public health due to the barriers presented by host cells hindering the timely detection of hidden bacteria and the effective delivery of therapeutic agents. To address these challenges, we propose a tandem diagnosis-guided treatment paradigm. A supramolecular sensor array is developed for simple, rapid, accurate, and high-throughput identification of intracellular bacteria.

In the 21st century, thanks to advances in biotechnology and developing pharmaceutical technology, significant progress is being made in effective drug design. Drug targeting aims to ensure that the drug acts only in the pathological area; it is defined as the ability to accumulate selectively and quantitatively in the target tissue or organ, regardless of the chemical structure of the active drug substance and the method of administration. With drug targeting, conventional, biotechnological and gene-derived drugs target the body's organs, tissues, and cells that can be selectively transported to specific regions.

Single-Photon Avalanche Photodiodes (SPADs) are increasingly utilized in high-temperature-operated, high-performance Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) systems as well as in ultra-low-temperature-operated quantum science applications due to their high photon sensitivity and timing resolution. Consequently, the jitter value of SPADs at different temperatures plays a crucial role in LiDAR systems and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) applications. However, limited studies have been conducted on this topic.

Breast cancer (BC) screening enables early detection and timely treatment of cancer. Improving the effectiveness of BC screening can be accomplished by personalizing screening schedules according to each woman's specific risk level. However, when informing women about their risk classification, especially those at high risk, it is important to give clear recommendations on how to lower their risk.
